Lyrics If I Can't Be the First - Tina Turner , Ike Turner

1966 version
Now if i can't be first
Don't wanna be no parts at all
I just ain't gonna sit on the sad line
And watch you and your women have a ball
So if you think that I'm still that kind
You'd better get it.get it
Get it get it get it...
Just get it outta your mind
'Cause I'd rather be alone
Than to keep lovin' you and gettin' hurt
I'm so tired to be misused
Lettin' you treat me like I'm dirt
So if you think that I'm still that kind
You'd better get it, I say get it
Get it get it get it...
Just get it outta your mind
(Ikettes: you think I'm crazy but you're outta your mind:
Just stand and watch you from the sad eye
But if you think that I'm still that kind
You'd better get it, I say get it
Get it get it get it...
You get it outta your mind
If I can't have you all alone
Gonna have to find me someone else
I think I've been a fool for you
When I can see you just don't care
So if you think that I'm still that kind
You'd better get it, I say get it
Etc...
I ain't gonna keep to be a fool for you
So get it outta your mind oooh!
